Default RE: HF Hunting...."Real-World"

Jeff here are pics of a friend of mine and his dad and grandads deer that they killed in Ohio this season. I believe they paid a total of about $14,000 for all three. He described the place as a 700 acre farm but once he got back and the details emerged it was hardly that big and it didn't really matter because they keep all of the food troughs in a certain area anyway and after seeing the video of their hunt I couldn't understand what the point was. The deer run along the fence and hide in clumps of cover until someone wals or drives up and gets them moving.

The bucks have colored rings on their racks(not the ones in the pics)which indicateshis size / price and a "guide" sits with the "hunters" and glasses the deer and tells their price(which they negotiated on sometimes in the video), it was all bad. I asked my buddy why he didn't justsend them the money and have them mail him the mounted buck of his choice, hell he would have saved on gas and for an extra $20 or $30they would have probably included a BS hunting tale to tell all of his friends admiring themount in his den. Now in his defense his dad and grandad are older and have never killed anything this size so I guess he was happy seeing them taking animals of this caliber (no matter how). Not for me[:'(].
